The use of porous cups to extract soil solution is interesting because it is a non destructive method. However, there are some uncertainties regarding the possible release of ions from the cups that would contaminate the extracted solution. An experiment was carried out at the College of Agricultural Sciences/UNESP, Botucatu, State of São Paulo (Brazil) to evaluate the Ca and Mg release by ceramic porous cups. Two tests were performed, consisting of four treatments: T1 – washing the cups with […]
